If you are in public you have should have no expectation of privacy.

Why not move the heat-exchanger (thin walls and all) into the ocean.
Have a closed-loop of FRESH water that you pump around.
It cools down in the ocean and then is pumped back in, through the data centre, heats up.
Now you've got internals (and your pump) free of salt.
Yes, you still have to maintain the outside of all the pipes AND the ocean-side of the heat exchanger but that seems easier than moving salt around.
that is(sic) todays nerds were given the power to create a governmental system, it would be completely awesome.
If the 'nerds' are waiting for the power to be 'given' to them, then it won't happen and you're no help to the GGP's post. Taking responsibility is step 1. Taking action is a close Step 2.

The paper describes outfitting such devices as the handheld computers used by first responders with elements dubbed a "device root key" and a "storage root hash" to enable temporary access to information.
I think this idea needs to be pursued. Having immediate but temporary access to need-to-know info such as medical history, contact phone numbers, and even a programmable access card for building (apt or condo) access to respond to 911 calls would be excellent.
The temporary, secure design would reduce the risk (or just the fear) of having first responders abuse the info (i.e. using a 'universal' key card to access a building during a non-emergency. As a first responder I know time would be saved if I could enter a building during a call without needing to enter buzz codes, etc, but I don't want to have the responsibility of universal access.
Expanding the system to share location/status of first responders/patients/threats/etc, along with live-updated info from the control centre would be very valuable.
After a motor-vehicle collision in the fall left me with persistent back pain/tightness, I ditched my computer chair and replaced it with an exercise ball (Thera-Ball) like you described. The ball makes a better chair than any chair I've used - it cured the pain, increased the strength and, thanks to a very gentle slope in the floor, always rolls itself under the desk when I'm done.
Yes the virus can be lethal. As I wrote in this post the mortality/morbidity rate for the avian flu in humans is NOT known; the rate for the virus in a pandemic influenza will not necessarily be the same.
IIRC the 1918 pandemic flu mortality rate was ~2 or 2.5%.
That mortality rate, provided by the WHO for their 'laboratory confirmed cases, only includes people who
a. became very sick from the infection
b. obtained medical attention which the WHO recognized
c. had blood samples tested and confirmed in a lab
Anyone that became infected and didn't exhibit symptoms wouldn't be included (why would they get tested?), and anyone that died in a remote area wouldn't be included either. The more 'infections' that develop in "1st world" countries the better able we will be to determine the true mortality/morbidity rate of avian influenza in humans.
Unfortunately that won't be able to predict the rate for 'pandemic flu' which would be a mutation of the current avian flu virus.
prepared or somewhat prepared to move employees to remote locations or let them work at home,
It's important to remember that working from home (or remote locations) isn't going to prevent the illness from infecting everyone - it will just prevent everyone from falling ill at the same time.
The 'attack rate' (ranging from 10 to 35% in most 'plans') is cumulative. It would be much easier to handle 10% revolving ill over a few months than it would be to handle ~35% of staff ill for 2 weeks.
Remember, too, that if this virus mutates into a human-to-human transmissible form that you'll be just as likely to catch it at the grocery store/transit system than you will at work.

Yeah, poor guy needs a camera that can't record video. He'll probably be stuck with an iPhone
And what's the point of having it published without a little product placement!
The students, using their own Dell, Lenovo ThinkPad and Gateway laptops, are now in the process of developing a genetically modified strain of yeas
Think Adblock could be configured to identify in-story hyperlinks and replace it with generic equivalents? Time for a beer...

I'm kind of suprised that the headline is spelled incorrectly.
Well, you made us look.
At their site.
TM or not, they've got the publicity they wanted.

"I can't see it being an issue."
That's because you're using lower quality cable - I can see it just fine with my graduated density cable.
And a few getaways that will forcibly remove you from your technology.
You mean they can't even take responsibility for their own pleasure? These people need counselling; not forcible removal of the device.
"I think that enough space to hold all the world's video should be enough for everyone"
How many actors, salesman, or politicians have you ever heard use those words?
I don't know.
Good point, though.

The internet is really, really good...
Finding good podcasts is a challenge.
Here's one! CBC Radio 3.
New music, many styles. Available in M4A, MP3, and OGG Vorbis.
If everything goes to plan, the experiment will begin at a height of 35km.
I wonder if the team declined to comment on what might happen if "everything goes to hell."

IIRC the 1918 pandemic flu mortality rate was ~2 or 2.5%.
The general concern is that if it mutates into a form which spreads easily from human to human (like normal human influenza) that we're in trouble.
